Jacob D. Jenkins, 25, was arrested on Wednesday after investigators were able to tie him to a vehicle break in and theft at Senator Greg Standridge's residence, according to testimony by Pope County Sheriff Investigator Chris Ridenhour during Monday's felony bond hearings.

Jenkins was given a $50,000 bond after District Judge Don Bourne listened to testimony and determined probable cause to hold Jenkins on contemplative charges of theft of property.

According to testimony, the incident was reportedly occurred on April 7. Several items were taken from a vehicle on the Standridge property, including a handgun, backpack, school supplies, shoes and a credit card.

The credit card was used to purchase two e-cards worth $200 and an attempt to purchase five more was made, Ridenhour said.

Investigators determined the location of the purchases via IP address and searched the residence after obtaining a search warrant. Ridenhour said several of the items were recovered during the search. Additionally, a black 1999 Z-71 was found disassembled in the back yard.

Investigators soon discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen one week earlier.

Jenkins, who was already incarcerated on unrelated misdemeanor charges, allegedly admitted during an interview to stealing the items, Ridenhour said.
